This is Jim Niekamp. He played 29 NHL games and was regarded as a hard-nosed defenseman. He wouldn't really be remembered at all (no slight meant, the man played in the NHL) save for one thing: his nickname. In the long history of hockey, Jim Niekamp's nickname is the best. Or worst.

Niekamp's nickname? Well, since this is a family site (?!!?!?!?) I'll give you a hint:

Rhymes with "shmitter."

Nation Radio is on Team 1260 at noon Edmonton time today. A very interesting group is scheduled to appear:

Kent Wilson from the Nations sites, Hockey Prospectus and the Score. Kent scored a new gig with the Nations that will see him add a lot of impressive content across the board. We'll also discuss the Jets, Calgary's efforts to have many, many men over 35 on their opening night roster and some other fun things.

Scott Reynolds from Copper and Blue. The C&B folks are doing their top 25 under 25 and we'll discuss that and some Oiler related news (and if we have time touch on the NW division for 11-12).

Corey Graham, play by play man for the Edmonton Oil Kings and host of Edmonton Sports Night live on Team 1260. I'll ask Corey about the Oil Kings and their chances in 11-12, we'll talk a little about the World Juniors and touch base on the sweeping changes that we've seen in the dub this summer.

Gabriel Desjardins, one of the true innovators in the field of advanced stats. Gabriel is an interesting character and we'll discuss the return of his Jets to Winnipeg (well not really, but the Jets are back!) the moves made by the team so far and a couple of interesting articles he's written recently.

Lowetide has been one of the Oilogosphere's shining lights for over a century. You can check him out here at OilersNation and at lowetide.ca. He is also the host of Lowdown with Lowetide weekday mornings 10-noon on TSN 1260.

The Mule(???), The Great 8(Ovechkin), The Mullet(Smyth), The sisters(Sedins), the little fake artist (escapes me right now....Savard?), Big Buff(Byfuglin), The Boogieman(Boogard), the Allergy(Poti?), and finally, the Loner(Kessel)

Whoops. Sorry Wax Man it was you who had the majority of my list spot on.

I'm glad you picked up on the Allergy. It seemed for a while that Poti was allergic to avoiding turning over the puck.
